I think you can't (as keeper) release the ball and then reclaim it (with hands) without it touching another player.

i think its more the case the ref was trying to find something to make up for his **** up in the 1st half

To be honest, it doesn't matter if he's moving away from goal. What matters is if a clear goalscoring opportunity has been denied. Sometimes you have to move away from goal to make space to shoot.

To you (and me) that is the case, unfortunately, referees do take into consideration if the player is going away from goal. It's stupid, but "no one likes to see people sent off" so there's sometimes pressure to not send players off if you can help it, and with keepers in this situation even more so.


It was about a couple of feet outside the area, to the left of the D by a couple of feet, and Buckley knocked it to his left and tried to go around the keeper, when he was fouled. The defender was kinda level with the incident when it happened to the right of the keeper (facing toward the goal, i.e. he was inside the D).

For me, without the foul buckley is through and scoring, even from a out wide, because he was so far out. I also think it's ridiculous, because if the defender had fouled him and the keeper was on the line, it would be a red even with one more player between him and the goal, so why when the keeper commits the foul is the defender consider a block on the goal scoring opportunity?
 


According to the bloke on Final Score (at the game) the 2nd yellow for Heaton was for handling the ball twice in the box without it touching another player.
Then why was the free kick given outside the area? Surely an offence inside the area is a penalty (or an indirect free kick) from where the offence occurred?
 






Loved your interview today, it sounded like it was getting in the way of some serious drinking time at Dicks.

:)
Serious queuing time, as it happens - but that's for another thread.

That's the second home game on the trot that Levo has picked on me for a first post-match reaction. That's three-quarters of the way towards being handed a banning order, live on the BBC. I thought I was a bit harsh on Leo, accusing him of missing about six or seven sitters. But hey! it shows how our expectations have turned round in the last couple of weeks.

The free kick was just inside the area. Even if you couldn't see exactly where the ball was, you can use your common sense to realize it had to of been because the free kick was indirect. If it was for hand it would be deemed intentional and therefor been direct.
